Dear Parents,
For the last 2 weeks we have been working on “how to” writing and have written several pieces explaining “how to” do something. To wrap up our informational writing unit, your child will do a final writing piece, with detailed instructions and illustrations, on how to do something. We have provided a list of topic suggestions (see below) of what your son/daughter might be an expert at. Each student will choose ONE of the ideas listed and, with your help at home, will create a step-by-step writing project. We ask that you take some time over this long weekend and talk to your child about what they feel they are best at out of the topics below. They need to be able to explain, in detail, how to perform their chosen task. We will start the writing plan in class on Tuesday, after the break. They will bring this rough draft home to copy onto construction paper (we will send the paper home next week). As always, please contact us with any questions.

Thank you for your cooperation!
